Chapter 3 : The Lord of Morata

The Lord of Morata

Yoon Na-hee was buoyant with expectation ”It's an opportunity towith Lee Hyun!

They couldn't make a contract with just three phone calls, so this ti to take the contract forh she was an e in a President's secretary office, she had neverof an i of Lee Hyun was enough to make her heart tremble

”He is someone who thinks of 3 billion (~3 e on the street”

In their first phone call, he had brusquely hung up even when he was told his account had been auctioned at a sum of 3 billion, 9 million Won

Wasn’t he truly the ideal specimen of a man that Yoon Na-hee had always drea shock she’d gotten then

They had shared short conversations together as she took charge of the casting for the 8 Heroes program as well At that time, Lee Hyun's level had only been 219 Yoon Na-hee was a player of Royal Road as well, and she had actually been at a higher level than hiht of him lasted for only a moment The True Blood Vaion battle, hunting the Bone Dragon, and even seizing the Eh the videos of another broadcaster — theall the Orcs and Dark Elves as the Orc Karichwi! She was such an avid fan that she printed out an enlarged picture of Orc Karichwi and pasted it on her wall

”Hmm, would it be okay to call him out of the blue?”

Yoon Na-hee abruptly decided to call him offhandedly She did so because her position in the President's secretary office and looks of her caliber made her welcome to anyone and everyone However, once she was actually about to have a phone call with Lee Hyun, she was so nervous that it was hard to speak

Yoon Na-hee prepared herself and dialed in Lee Hyun's phone nu twice

Click!

”hello, this is Yoon Na-hee You re with an intily honeyed voice She worried for a moment about what she would do if the person on the other end wasn't Lee Hyun, but fortunately it was the right person

- Who is it?

Lee Hyun's curt voice cah the call The already tense Yoon Na-hee could not help but be overwhelmed

”That, I am Yoon Na-hee”

Since this was their third call, there was an understanding that he would at least remember her name

- So what?

””

- I'

— Beeeeeeeep —

Lee Hyun had hung up

On the hill where Weed had sculpted the Tower of Light in the past, was croith visitors even in broad daylight There were tourists ere looking at the Tower of Light, while going as far as to wait for the evening to come There were several sculptures Weed had inner Sculptors also brandished their skills to make works of art in the e called an excellent sculpture park This hill had already becoht Park Moreover, a fabulous view of Morata village and the Lord's Castle could be seen fros and the Goddess Freya Statue were visible from above

Weed went up to that place with Yellowy

”It's the Lord of Morata”

”Lord? Then he's the Sculptor who sculpted the Tower of Light”

”It's the WarGod Weed”

As Weed went up the hill, the tourists who recognized hiht past them, took a position on the hill of sculptures, and pulled out his sculpting knife

'I have tonecessary for the quest'

He had felt his li the Alliance of the Deliverer quest His stats were higher than others because he was a Sculptor, but his fighting ability fell so Blade or other skills, he was in a shaky situation considering the quest he had in front of him

'I can't even use the Power of the Deliverer any Hydra shows up, I'll lose for sure'

It was a battle Weed had used all his cards to fight in He had entirely used up the Power of the Deliverer that had been in the wand, and the Copper Plate of Rest's durability had fallen, so he couldn't issue the Sentence of Death He had to complete the 2nd and 3rd steps of the quest as well, but all his cards were exhausted

He had suffered to death co the 1st step of the S difficulty quest, so there would be nothingthe 2nd and 3rd steps

Slice, slice

Rocks were cut with everyknife

There wereThe Church of Freya did not shun other religions Therefore, he was planning on h, who htness and was the natural enemy of monsters that attacked under the cover of darkness It wouldn't be bad to have an Idol of Lugh, even if only to ih is pronounced as ”Lu”, he is the Celtic hero of the Sun God]</ee statue, so I've gotta make the foundation with stone'

Weed quickly cut the rock that would become the sculpture's foundation A sculpture si h were set up all across the Versailles Continent Lugh wasn't vague in appearance like Goddess Freya, so it did not take long to sculpt

”The really important part starts from this moment onwards”

Weed took a deep breath The materials were so precious that they made him bead up with cold sweat, but an investment in the sculpture was necessary

He was at Advanced Sculpting 6 If he made just a few more sculptures, he would soon reach level 7

”It's really a sha the blacksh solidity, he melted the broken s”

Glowing yellow, the old was completed

When a Blacksmith iold In technical terilt!

”I won't even be able to paint half of it with thisall the htly insufficient to paint the entirety of the huge statue ”Should I tryin a few impurities?”

Weed shook his head It would deal a blow to the sculpture if the gold's purity was lowered

”The gold has to be 24k no old coins and the gold bars he had acquired fros”

Every tiold was mixed as it let off an indescribable luster For Weed, who had only ever stirred watery soup, it was a luxury a luxuries

The tourists couldn't repress their astonish an enoronna cover it all in gold”

They were curious about how the idol of Lugh would turn out That was the way things were; no ht before so was finished

As it was Weed, the tourists kept on increasing

”How much tax did he scrape from Morata to be able to invest in a sculpture like that?”

”As expected, Lordsyou, they're all scammers and thieves How athered in the North?”

There was even the appearance of those who saw him as a millionaire and envied him However, Weed's fame was enormous

”Do not criticize our Lord!”

”That's right, our Lord isa really low tax rate”

”He's the one who es in the ruin that was once Morata To such an awesome Lord…”

”You don't even know the reason why he was trying to squeeze out every last Copper when he was selling goods to everyone in the inners who saw him as kind even showed tears at the criticism directed at Weed as they defended hiet just one more Copper to invest it in Morata All for our sakes!”

The players who defended hi saint; an excellent Lord who treasured his residents and players!

Weed was so taut with tension that he couldn't even give a shi+t about the the tourists' dispute

”I can't spill even a single drop”

He poured all his attention into the business of gold gilding

He had a background of papering the walls in his house since he was little They had lasted a winter by pasting the newspapers left from his delivery onto the walls, layer by layer

”Papering must be done quickly! It absolutely h if there are bumpy raised parts or crooked portions”

He revived the experience of papering to perfor Of course, there was a considerable difference between the two In gilding, gold had to be spread thinly and brushed on, so it had a far greater difficulty

However, he received assistance fro He had shi+tty drawing ability, but thanks to raising his Drawing skill beforehand, there was even a slight effect on his brushi+ng

At last, the head part was all painted on, and the idol of Lugh's head reflected the sunshi+ne, sparkling golden He put in blue jewels for the eyes They were azure eyes gazing far into the distance on a golden head that looked like it would sparkle away at anymade steadily from the head down

”Oooh”

”It's so cool”

The sight of the statue being coh the tourists The golden idol of Lugh made by Weed!

It was coe bow and arrows For a nor to e sculptures now He had kept soe sculpture, and had even sculpted Lu’s equip!

He had succeeded in ious sculpture!

There was only about 17 until Weed's Sculpting skill proficiency reached level 7

”A rowth becarew, but the situation was h to make him ambitious However, since he had sculpted Goddess Freya and the Idol of Lugh, he couldn't n well

”This is enough for a huge stone sculpture”

An idol of Night, the Thief, or the Barbarian would took a long time to sculpt, and they didn't fit Morata If he sculpted an idol for Thieves that ended upthe nu problem An idol of the Barbarian was also out since their robust physiques scared residents unless it was a place where individuals of the Barbarian race lived

”It doesn't s to sculpt”

Weed reversed his grip on the sculpting knife Since h, it was now tiot too late

”Weed is the Lord of Morata!”

A in Morata, a considerable nureat interest in Weed They had coer inners, who had just started, did not care much about the WarGod Weed They knew Weed was a famous person, but they didn't have much interest in him

However, for warriors, Weed was a subject of respect or a rival they wanted to overcoo see Weed”

”Do you happen to knohere Weed is?”

The news got out early, but they were late to return because they had gone out on an expedition in a hunting ground that was quite far away, even for the North A fighting party that had just returned froround asked around about Weed's whereabouts in the village

There was a Merchant who knew about Weed

”Lord Weed?”

”Yes, that Weed”

”Ah, so you ca a sculpture on the rocky mountain over there”

”A sculpture?”

”Yes, it's an extre over there the day after tomorrow if you can”

At the Merchant's words, the Warrior, Hon, tilted his head ”He'sa sculpture?”

The Paladin, Billeo, replied in a slightly tense voice ”There is talk that his profession is a Sculptor”

”I heard that the Lord of Morata was a Sculptor too But hi a Sculptor is ridiculous At least, the Weed we saw didn't have such a personality”

They had died quite a few tiic Of course, their levels in the Continent of Magic had been a little over thewith their guild

The sight of Weed, who had slaughtered enemies with unparalleled efficiency!

Hon spoke in disbelief ”To say he's a Sculptor… unlike the rumors, maybe he's not WarGod Weed?”

The Warrior, Garrick, stepped forward first ”We'll knoe see hi here like this?”

A hunting party of 7, including Hon, Billeo, and Garrick, left for the rocky athered the players at the peak of even Morata! Even the Cleric's level was over 300, and his robes fluttered as he ran

They had been in Morata for quite a while, so they knew easily the location of the rocky ht was there, even they alent there when they cae that we have been using as a base to be the WarGod Weed, it's really above our iinations”

”More than that, for us to have hunted while looking at sculptures he ?”

It was as confusing as being smashed by a blunt weapon froinner players on the road towards the rockytowards theon their faces!

”Wow, this is really the best”
